Description

Hello,

I am an analyst working at HM Treasury and I am using the BHPS to estimate the use of health visitors and district nurses.

I am looking at a single wave (wave 18) and trying to calculate from the sample, the total number of people who had been visited by a health visitor or district nurse, across the population.

My question is, how do you apply the probability weights to results from a sample to scale up to get the number of users in a population?

Any help or guidance you may be able to give would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Matt
